Is it fairly robust? I know it was a recent addition to the tree. I am thinking of getting a couple of cards with Realtek 8139 chips on them. They are really cheap, about $23 a piece or so. They will be used for a home network, initially at 10Mbps, but within a month or so, at 100Mbps. Is the driver fairly stable, and are the cards a good deal for that price?
